Another former "A-cup" has been converted!

[KatyTheCleaningLady]

I finally clicked on one of the bra threads and was shocked to hear that there's only ever been one true A-cup on here.

I have always thought of myself as a 36A. But, I tried the measuring thing and got 35" X 38".

Could I really be a 34C??

Well, I tried one on at Asda, and it fit much better than I would have ever imagined. It was a little tighter than I'd like, but the cups were perfect. A 36C wasn't as smooth a fit. I didn't have time to try on other styles. But, when I get the chance, I am going to find a bra that is suitable in a 36C.

Curly you'd be a 26E but 26s are only available custom made at the moment. Try a 28D/DD to get the cup right. You can tighten the band by sewing or with a thing called a Rixie clip available on eBay.

Rumour has it there are one or two manufacturers considering adding 26 back to their ranges so you never know...

Sorry Curly I meant 26DD and try 28D instead (28Cs being rarer than rocking horse shit).

not helping me count!

Crazy! Off online bra shopping, hoping for a bra that fits, finally! Thankyou

Would someone post the 'rules' on this thread, please? I missed the big thread altogether, am currently 8 months pregnant and expect my bra size to change several times over the next few months

27.5 and 31 - talk to me people.

I was disappointingly informed I was too tiny for bravissimo a year ago - I feel I have grown a little. I'm wearing 30C which aint doing it for me.

I'd say try a 28C Wonderstuff, but they are known as the rocking horse shit of the bra world, sadly. You might have to try a 30B and alter the back. How does your 30C fit with epic scooping? Too bigg? Too small?

Boobs fit the 30C but strap too loose, not giving enough support. M&S are now doing a teen bra in 28C - boobs are spilling over a little in my bra - wonder if I can get away with a 28D - annoyingly this was the size I had a couple of years ago but chucked as boobs were too small..

Then I'd definitely suggest buying at least one 28D and scooping like a woman possessed for a bit. See if with repeated retraining you can get your boobs to fill the D reliably.

Thanks sparkle

I've bend half aware of these bra threads, but it's the first time I've clicked on one. I'm hooked!

I'm measuring 35'' underneath and 38'' on top if I lean over etc....

Been, not bend. Thank you!

Try 34D sittinginthesun, and possibly 34DD, 36C and D, though I think the 34's will be better.

Really? I've been in a 36B since ds2 was born. Only certain styles, through and sports bras are a disaster.

I really will give it a go. Thank you!

No, you've never been a 36B! You may have been measured incorrectly by They-who-shall-not-be-named on the high street, but you've never been a 36B I promise

Hello could anyone point me in the right direction for which size to buy please?
Just measured as 28 under and 34 over when leaning. Still breastfeeding and boobs have drastically reduced over the last year. Sob!

Purple try a 28E

Thanks Sorrel - I can't wait to go bra shopping!

i can't find a tape measure but marking my place for my non existent boobs.

Thank you Celtic! I must go out and get some bras that don't leave my boobs feeling like a building has fell on them.

thank you statistically challenged - yes its inches not cm - stupid me !

Purplehonesty try 28E and F, you'll need to be sure you can accomodate your fuller pre-feed sizes as well as a slightly softer post feed tissue as well.

I'm measuring 33" underneath and 40" round, what size should I be wearing???

Try 32F, 32FF, 34F, 34E

I'm wearing a 36c, no wonder I have sore boobs

I'm 35" and 42" someone please advise me?
